He “band aids” lots of flaws on that team and it has shown the last several weeks he has been out. the Packers, with Rodgers, are a playoff contender, but without, are a below average team at best.

why play Rodgers on a broken collarbone with a wildly improbable playoff scenario?

They are literally 100:1 shots to get a wildcard…. you risk aggravating an injury on a guy that’s one of the most valuable in the NFL?

crazy

If it was just the wild card you’d be right, but the Packers win the division if they win out and the Lions lose one game. The odds are still against them but really not by much. Any coach and player would play hard given those odds.

That is the way it works. That is how Favre did it. This game against the Cowboys is a virtual playoff game, with no defense played. Cowboys 56 Packers 49

Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:54:46 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2230505#comment-3004062The Pack is a 1/2 game out of first with Chicago on the docket in 3 weeks. One loss by the Lions and the division is in their hands. If they lose they lose, but play it out, me boy!

I’m cautiously optimistic. Once you get in the playoffs, anything can happen.

As opposed to being Minnesotan. Then I would brag about how awesome it’s going to be, lose, fail, and then pretend I never cared because I can go to Mall of America and shop at The Gap.

That said, this question was actually relevant to the football field, and football is better when Aaron Rodgers is upright. Here’s hoping he plays against the Cowboys this week and is in top form without having any rust to shake off.

Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:46:33 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2230505#comment-3004031If and when he is medically cleared to play, he should play.

What’s with all this talk about ‘shutting him down?’

He’s a football player. Even if they are eliminated from playoffs, if he is healthy to play he should play.

He could have an impact on who wins the division – even if Pack is eliminated – by playing at Chicago in final week.

My grandmother could go out compete against that Cowboy D as bad as they are.

that’s what the giants and raiders said after Dallas lost to the saints look how well that worked out for them so GB better watch out… just saying

Not so. This statement simply enhancing propaganda for a false idol. The circus has arrived, folks.

Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:34:13 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2230505#comment-3003966As a longtime Aaron Rodgers keeper in fantasy football, I’m praying he’ll be back to normal and starting this week.

As a football fan, I really think they should shut him down for the year. I know it’s possible for the Pack to make the playoffs, but honestly how far would they go? They’re not beating Seattle or New Orleans. The 49ers would be a really tough matchup and they’re not beating Carolina. Why risk a career-threatening injury to your franchise cornerstone when you can let him heal up and be back to normal for next season. I had hoped the Patriots were gonna do that with Gronk; they didn’t and look how far he was set back. I just don’t think it’s worth it
